I own and still use this refinished chest (27"H) that has a metal tag in the top drawer that reads kling, mayville, new york. Who manufactured the chest and is it part of a bedroom collection?

P.S., Barronett, Wisc.

In 1911, John Kling purchased a bankrupt furniture company in Mayville, N.Y. The family-owned business was known for manufacturing bedroom furniture. The bedside table, made of mahogany in the Chippendale style with shaped bracket feet and pierced brass hardware, was originally one of a pair. And the pair of bedside tables was part of an entire bedroom suite, which included two dressers, a mirror, and a bed frame. Because your bedside table is missing its companion piece, the overall value is significantly lower.
